We are so in love with the photos we obtained from our shoot. She captured our new addition as well as our whole family so perfectly.

What's Included?

Every newborn session in my studio is a full-service experience—no hidden fees, no extra charges for family portraits, just timeless memories crafted with care.

From our in-person design session to wardrobe styling, I ensure every detail is thoughtfully planned. Moms can choose to have hair & makeup done, so even in the exhaustion of new motherhood, they feel their best.

Newborn sessions run on baby time—soothing, swaddling, feeding, rocking—whatever your little one needs. The studio stays warm and quiet, and you're welcome to chat or even take a nap while I work my magic.

Afterward, I curate and edit your images, guiding you through the selection process. Every printed portrait is professionally finished, and I even offer complimentary wall art installation.

If this sounds like the stress-free, luxury photography experience you’ve been looking for, reach out to book your session today!
